“Equality means giving everyone equal opportunities to learn, NOT teaching everyone in exactly the same way.”
The Department of Education is committed to the process of inclusive, quality education. Every effort is made to educate all students through instruction commensurate with their individual needs, in regular classes within neighbourhood schools. Based on the conviction that each individual is a unique learner, schools require flexible curriculum delivery, support services, and appropriate resources. A collaborative effort among educators, parents and the community is essential to the success of the student.” (Guidelines and Standards: Educational Planning for Students with Exceptionalities)
The Department of Education supports the model of ‘Collaborative Consultation’, which involves collaboration, consultation, and teamwork between all involved in the student’s educational program.
The Resource Teacher’s role includes:
*co-planning and co-teaching
*finding and adapting materials for the subject area teacher
*suggesting methodologies
*assessing students
*acting as a liaison between the school and outside agencies
*providing small group or one-on-one time for specified periods of time.
